It's true that Youtube Music is a replacement / rebranding for Google Music, but the "better interface" is certainly open for debate.
A very strange thing I found is that, when you migrate your data from GPM to YTM, Google seems to "forget" all of its algorithmically curated data based on likes and play history. It's taking me a long time to "train" YTM back to where GPM was before the migration.
All of this is really disruptive to users though, and it's why I have taken to self-hosting the music I really care about via Jellyfin.
